The police at Middlesborjough South, Massachusetts, decreed J that fifteen inches must be the maximum amount of leg permissible to show. Constables are provided I with two-foot rules while on patrol jin the streets with which to measure 'skirts. This tends to greatly emiharrass them in their duties.
